I started reading The Trivium: The Liberal Arts of Logic, Grammar, and Rhetoric by Miriam Joseph a while back but it turned out to be very different than expected. I now don't understand what I was expecting at all, but it turned out to be a classical grammar textbook. It's my fault for not doing my due diligence.
But I still want to finish it. The problem comes in because I put it down in frustration and now I feel lost. Is it worth it to go back and start over? Does anyone have experience with this book and how to deal with it?
The frustration is because I feel like it's more something I need to study than to just read. Usually I am swift about DNFs but I'm stuck with this one because I'm unsure if it still holds value.
Sorry to whine. Thanks in advance for any advice.
TL;DR: Book about the Trivium is more of a textbook. Should I restart and study it or put it down for good?
